What is planet x or nibiru?

Question

tell me about it

Answer 1

It is a mythical planet described in ancient Sumerian writings.  Nibiru, to the Babylonians, was the celestial body associated with the god Marduk. The name is Akkadian and means 'crossing place' or 'place of transition'. In most Babylonian texts it is identified with the planet Jupiter. In Tablet 5 of the Enuma Elish it may be the pole star, which at the time was Thuban or possibly Kochab (Ursa Minor).

The term "Nibiru" comes from the Sumerian cuneiform tablets and writings dating 5,000 years old. The term Nibiru means "Planet of the crossing", and it's cuneiform sign was often a cross, or various winged disc. The Sumerian culture was located in the fertile lands between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, at the southern part of today's Iraq.

According to proponents such as Zecharia Sitchin the Nibiru appearing in Sumerian records correctly refers to a large planetary body. Their research proposes that it possesses a highly elliptical, 3630-year orbit.

It was the home of a technologically advanced human-like alien race, the Anunnaki of Sumerian myth, who, Sitchin claims, survived and later came to Earth. Sitchin has also transcribed that their travelling to earth was the result of their failing atmosphere (having since been drawn into our solar system from its cosmic passing, the atmosphere of Nibiru was subjected to intense external stress from our sun).

The Anunnaki ("those who from heaven came to earth" in Sumerian) came upon evolution on earth as it had been progressing for billions of years however, they desired to create a worker who could communicate and learn from them. After a slew of failed prototypes an Anunnaki goddess engineered a perfect specimen- the Adam. This was done using 80% of the Inferior specimen and 20% of the superior Anunnaki specimen.

Sitchin says some sources speak about the same planet, possibly being a brown dwarf star and still in a highly elliptic orbit around the Sun, with a perihelion passage some 3,600 years ago and assumed orbital period of about 3,600 to 3,760 years or 3,741 years.

Sitchin attributes these figures to astronomers of the Maya civilization. Many involved in research of this kind predict a return date of Nibiru passing Earth coinciding with the Winter Solstice of 2012; specifically at 11.11 UT, 21st December, 2012.

Scientists argue that a planet with such an orbit would eventually either develop a circular orbit or fly off into space and overwhelmingly consider Sitchin's claims to be pseudoscience.

Answer 2

a load of hooey... bunch of bull excrement... a fantasy of hippie astrology fans... there's nothing to it. it's best ignored.

Answer 3

In ancient times:  Jupiter.

In modern times:  A fictitious planetary body destined to bring about the end of the world.

It's a good thing people aren't superstitious anymore, eh?

Answer 5

Nibiru is the giant planet that is coming to destroy the Earth in 2012.

We can't see it, because it is invisible... and pink.

The fact that it is both invisible AND pink merely proves that it really exists, for if it was just invisible, we'd be making it up.  Or if it was just pink, we'd see it in the night sky, now wouldn't we?

Answer 6

Planet X in relation to 2012 is fraud and delusion.

Nibiru in relation to 2012 is fraud and delusion.  Both are anti-science.  

In reality, Planet X is any planet that is suspected on GENUINE scientific grounds to exist but has not been observed.  Not suspected on the grounds that some woman claims to be in telepathic contact with aliens from Zeta Reticuli.

In reality Nibiru is a Babylonian name for the planet Jupiter.  It is not some long period planet that enters the inner solar system every 3600 or whatever years as according to a scholastic fraud called Sitchin.

Answer 7

It is BOGUS and a HOAX. They say that it will bring about the end of the world by pole shift or more impending disasters.. The people who say that are either lunatics or doomsayers. I hope they all die of cancer.

Answer 8

first of all, the term "planet x" is not "THE planet x" its "A planet x". the term "planet x" was coined a couple hundred years ago to identify unknown planets in our solar system, that mathamatically, and logically, had to exist. neptune was the first of the planet x's. astronomers calculated that there had to be a planet beyond uranus that was affecting its orbit. and there was, and that planet was neptune. pluto was a planet x until it was discovered in 1930 by accident. other planet x's include:

-eris

-sedna

-quoaur

-ceres

with the exception of neptune, all planet x's have now been classified as "plutoids" except for ceres, which is a dwarf planetary body.

and no planet x is going to attack earth in 2012.

nibiru is an ancient word for "jupiter" and jupiter isn't going to attack earth either.
